In the UK, developers pay has frozen, if not reduced slightly over the past 12 years. I can't tell what it is in other sectors, but it's not a good thing.
Unfortunately most companies here go through (a handful of) employment agencies, and they're making a packet.
In another article that I read this morning, the Intel Android guy they interviewed mentioned that they had a native code translator for ARM -> x86 native code. He also dodged the question on "does that work for WP7/WinRT"... might we also see intel WP7/8 phones?
Google listed today as a day off too, and at some point redacted it. But my iPhone (and android devices) held on to the notion that it was still a bank holiday.
As long as the kernel is built for USB HID, android will use it.
IIRC I've also plugged in an unsupported (in android) bluetooth dongle, the HID drivers loaded and I suddenly got a working bluetooth keyboard too. Heh.
What's that?? Us English shout and scream every time the Government raise petrol tax. Occasionally we protest too.
As far as I know we're already diluting regular unleaded with up to (by law) 5% ethanol - with the resultant loss in MPG, and there's moves to increase this to 10%. Alas figuring out who's diluting regular petrol with this crap and selling it for 5p more than my current supermarket petrol is difficult.
I'm talking about a tank of fuel that one fill up takes 35mpg from station, to 25 from another... same journeys, same weather. same week.
I drive a good 130 miles a day to work and back currently. Though in the UK that's not a normal commute.
[Snip]There are people who own and read way more books than I do.
So, your point is that you have no sense of what the discussion is actually about, right? Right.
Don't mock my comment. I know what I am talking about. We're talking about billions of euros/dollars... stolen from the industry by book-sharing people. And they've been at it for centuries!
Oh Wait, there's those things called Libraries! Burn them down immediately!
VoIP wiretapping is easy if you you run a VoIP server - how do you think all those wonderful call centers record your conversations "for training purposes" ?
*Actually, that "baseball at the speed of light" is classical kinetic energy. Using the relativistic kinetic energy equation, which seems appropriate at.999c, the answer turns out to be 2.78 x 10^17 Joules,, or about 66 1/2 megatons. Which is a bit more than the biggest weapon we've ever used in any setting. Still not a dinosaur-killer, but damned unpleasant to be anywhere near I'd bet.
I used to enjoy Personal Computer World and Byte, and Dr Dobbs (if we could find the latter two) in the early-mid 90s, then it all ended up quite horrid Byte dies, and gets reborn into something unrecognisable, Dr Dobbs disappears from the shelves, and PCW turns into a trees worth of advertising copy with no tech articles in it. At least the electronics mags of old seem to be THE things to read to learn about AVRs etc. *sigh*
I had more or less given up to read slashdot by '98 as it was much more up to date.
Magazines are just a waste of space these days, especially for the tech stuff.
Slashdot Mirror
Is that like a RED stripe?
This, however, was not always the case.
The 68K macs of old often had some properly nasty viruses.
And the internet wasn't a vector either.
Exactly! :)
Actually I'm cancelling an upvote to reply.

Hi I'm in the UK we have contactless cards here.
Last time I checked the UK was a founder of the EU and in Europe ;-)
So I can buy an NFC reader for $60ish and connect it to my computer and read the cards that way instead?
The problem is with the protocol, not the hardware.
Not entirely true.
Not all merchants in the world have Chip+Pin (which is terribly broken anyhow) and CSC is not taken by all merchants in the world either.
Card numbers and expiry dates are all you need.
Yes, outside Australia, the UK and (I think) the EU the uptake of CSC and Chip and Pin is rather low.

But you can write C# and have it run on all three! ~~~
Didn't one of the women later withdraw those allegations and run off to Israel somewhere to hide?
All of them? (well in the US both of them)
*raises hand*
I skipped work today.
Google listed today as a day off too, and at some point redacted it. But my iPhone (and android devices) held on to the notion that it was still a bank holiday.
I believe the correct spelling is "Warrior", by the way.

When has 29% been a third?
BASIC MATHS SKILLS PLEASE!
Yes I am yelling you stupid lameass fascist filter

IBM would sue them for ripping off their business model.
There, fixed that for you.

Finally someone gets my point.

What would be its (relative) velocity if it did hit the atmosphere?
Sure there's the idea of mass in posts (iron vs rock) but not velocity!
At sufficiently high velocities it doesn't really matter what a projectile is composed of.
Solution: Just make them up!
Ti-Ger?
Sounds Grrrr-eat! :-)
